Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government: What communication they have had with the European Commission regarding VAT being levied on voluntary sports clubs. HL195]

The Government have had no discussions with the European Commission about VAT being levied on voluntary sports clubs. The Commission's proposals on reduced rates of VAT do not affect the VAT treatment of club membership subscriptions.
